They won't work for trying not to get pregnant. I've not used them, but from what I understand, they show when there is a change in some hormone that shows you will be ovulating in the next day or so. The problem with using them as birth control is that sperm can live for quite a while, up to 3 days, I think. So by the time you knew that you were about to ovulate, there could already be sperm present hunting for that egg.
Would they not help you at least find out when you ovulate? (I don't know anything about them.) I recently found out that I ovulate earlier than we are taught we ovulate, would a predictor kit at least help you find that out to make planning easier? (Again I'm pleading complete ignorance on the issue.)

Yes, they will help show when you ovulate. However, by the time you find out that you've ovulated, it is too late for not TTC purposes because you can have live sperm still swimming around in there from when you didn't know you were going to ovulate.

Ok, I get what you're saying. Yeah, I was thinking for future knowledge, not for month to month planning. So taking a few months to determine a pattern and then going from there.

That is a good point about the prediction kits. I'll have to try them out next month.
I'm starting my good old PMS symptoms. Should have my period early next week.

Lexie, you might find charting to be helpful in figuring out your cycle, even if it isn't for ttc or tta purposes. If you need any help let me know... With your family history of IF it would probably be a good thing to try.
How long are your cycles? When are you ovulating?

They all primarily work by preventing fertilization via suppression of ovulation, but if they don't suppress ovulation then an egg could be fertilized. I was on the Nuva Ring off and on for...2 years? It prevented ovulation most of the time, but was still allowing some hormone fluctuation, which gives me migraines. I was also having fertile, or suspicious CF(although it could have just been from having a foreign object in my hooha all the time) so I switched to Seasonique. So far I have been totally "dry", no CF to speak of and my charts are totally an-ov which means I'm not ovulating.

It is nerve wracking, but I figure I can't know until I try, lol. The only one I really worry about is weight gain, but so far I haven't ever had that problem. If I did I would stop them, lol.

Yeah, but unless you are over 35 or smoke the risk of those is pretty slim.

Hi everyone, I'm going to jump right in here. Since this board be good for me. As some would know I got 2 girl's in foster care. Hubby wants a baby and I'm scared to have one because I'm worried Department of Children Protection would take that baby from us. I said to hubby I think about it. We both agreed give me till next November to come up with the answer.
